Vauxhall has published some pictures of their Monza Concept, which is expected to make its official debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The futuristic vehicle boasts cutting-edge LED projection infotainment and an evolution of the Ampera's revolutionary powertrain.

The Monza is a 4-seater concept 4,690 mm long, 1,310 mm tall and has been modeled after "ocean waves lapping on the shore". It also has a lot of headroom and a generous cargo capacity of 500 liters. The gullwing doors help getting inside easily.

The interior features a wide and sculpted dashboard that extends from one door to the other which is used as a single projection surface. There are 18 LEDs creating the multi-functional display showing information and decorative elements.

Vauxhall Monza is powered by an electric drive with a compressed natural gas (CNG) range extender. The three-cylinder 1.0 liter SIDI turbo has been modified to run on natural gas giving even better results in fuel economy.

"The Monza Concept represents the Opel/Vauxhall car of tomorrow. On one hand, it embodies everything that already characterises Opel/Vauxhall – precision engineering combined with innovative technologies wrapped in captivating design. In addition, it addresses the themes that will be the development-focus of the next generation of Opel/Vauxhall cars: maximum connectivity and optimum efficiency." ," commented Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, Opel/Vauxhall CEO.
